We don't have to work harder. We just need to hang on to the dang football.

it is an issue everywhere you look, but this offense needs one years worth of reps...and a few more playmakers...

Our program needs an experienced coaching staff. The problems that we are seeing are the very same problem that we have seen since the very first game of the season, and our staff don't have a clue of how to fix it, if they did, it would have been fixed when we played game #2, and here it is going into game #8 and those same problem are causing us to lose games games.
During this time since Dabo has been our head coach, did you ever imagine our FB team getting beat down by Duke the way that they beat us, a 28-7 Duke win...

That was the 7th game of the season and we started out making the very same mistakes. Ball security should be the #1 priority going forward. If we continue to turn the ball over we can forget about beating ND, UNC, NC State, and Usuc. We have to be able to run the ball and our OL has got to step up. Inside the Red Zone we are not very good and that relates to the OL.

Judge Keller that is what I've been really loud about for the past two seasons now, and just bc we were winning over lowly ACC FB teams, nobody wanted to hear about my opinion of Dabo's hand picked coaching staff from out the office building that had no real coaching experience, especially not enough experience to being coaching in a program like we have prided ourselves of having over the past 10 years, and those hires have crippled the talent that's with the FB program right now. If Dabo sticks with those coaches, we will lose most of that talent, and it will be hard to get that type of talent back once it's gone...
I truly hope that Dabo can find a way to swallow some of his pride and admit to himself that his plan to grow his coaching staff within just didn't work the way he wanted to, and he will do a serious coaching search and bring in a crew of top power 5 coaches that can and will coach up the talent that we have. If he does that, recruits will see that he will do what's necessary to make coaching changes that helps the program grow, and not bring it down....

And let’s all get on our knees and pray that none of our recruits read this poisonous diatribe!!!
Yep he’s not perfect… are you, I know I’m not…. Could we have better coaching at certain areas, Probably, but you can’t throw out the baby with the bath water. I’m not gonna say give him a chance , because you will say … he’s had 3 or 4 years to fix this… I guess you don’t count the Riley hire as going outside the building, after all his brother is a coach, so DABO screwed that one up 2. Man I dont know what kind of work you do, but you must be the undisputed ruler of your industry!!!!
Food for thought!!!!

We just hired the supposed best offensive coordinator in the country. Coaches can't hang on to the ball for them! I'm not impressed with Riley's play calling in the red zone. Just saying!!

Problem is he has not got the players TCU had either not even close, we really do not have any solid play makers that's consistent. Brown is the closest we have so far and he's inconsistent as well with muffed punts just saying.

If the mailman drops your letters on curb rather than putting the in the mailbox do you not say something to him? Or do you tell yourself, "he's been a mailman for 20 years so he MUST know better than me."

Identify talent early and make more offers, with the understanding that we aren’t waiting for you before moving on.
Continue to emphasize what makes Clemson special, including outstanding facilities, NFL placement, great fans, excellent education, pretty campus, etc.
Utilize the portal to address needs.
This isn’t rocket surgery.

Maybe. But he is only working this hard because HIS staff ain't getting the job done. One way or the other Dabo created the problem and he is getting paid handsomely to fix it.

As you would argue for Brad, Judge Keller®, there is still the execution of the plays and we have lacked that. Players can be put in the right positions and know the plays, but doesn’t mean it will be successful. It is, as in basketball, a coaching problem and an execution of the plays called and ability to get it done

Crazy to think that turnovers have been our demise this season. Basically beat ourselves which stings even more. DW4 also had a ton of turnovers but it didn’t hurt because he was able to put up so many points. We have a major issue on offense and it starts with our offensive line and coaching. Very, very underwhelmed with Riley.

Garrett had no choice with the choosing of the offensive position coaches. I wish that Dabo would have allowed him to hire the coaches that he wanted that has been in his system before day 1 when he came to Clemson!!!

Have you ever worked your A$$ off with a group of people, and at the end of the day you see that nothing really got done. That is what is happening with Garrett Riley right now, but it's happening everyday...

i busted out laughing about halfway through reading this article, it's not even that what dabo said is bad, or much that i disagree with, i just wonder sometimes if he is aware how much he brings up the past.....when he started in on the "only 2 or 3 teams have done what we've done the last 7 years" i just never hear saban and other top coaches refer so much and so specifically to past accomplishments when he's in the midst of a dry run.
I feel like dabo hangs on to the past a little like a sensory toy or safety blanket.

It is his safety blanket. He will continue to remind us all of his past successes, so as to not question his and this team’s present issues and struggles.

Dabo used to say that past accomplishments are in the rear view mirror and that this team is a new team. In business and in sports you either produce or you're gone. That's just the way it is . I heard Saban on an interview and he said that CFB has changed and you can't grip about it you have to accept it and change with it. $$$$$ money has changed everything in college sports and you adapt or you lose.

I think Arnold Palmer said his dad said you don’t need to worry about telling people about how good you are. If you are really good they’ll tell you. Dabo is shouting how good he and his program are. It’s sounding a little desperate.

Yeah. 2018 is getting further and further in the rear view mirror.
But I love Dabo’s spin…” we’re in the valley now, where the soil is fertile. The valley is where we grow…where God prepares us to climb to the mountain top.”
Can’t argue with that

I’d like to be able to go to my boss when I’ve screwed up or otherwise underperformed and say “I can’t work any harder.” Maybe his point is to take up for the players and coaches knowing how hard they work. I DO believe they work extremely hard. I DO believe Dabo wants to win just as much as us fans do if not more. I also believe there’s an element of working smarter not harder that’s at the bottom of all this. It takes a lot of self-awareness (open mindedness) to accept that and to try things differently.

Hey bud, I never once said that Dabo was finished. I believe that Dabo can do the very same things as he has done at Clemson, but he will have to let go of the friendships that he is hiring for coaches. If he stays on the same path he's going down now, he will never be successful again, not at Clemson!!!
There isn't a coach on Sabna's staff that he wouldn't run off today if they had the same results that Dabo is getting from his staff starting 2 years ago!!!

Bear Bryant completely changed his offense which facilitated the amazing success during the latter stages of his career. Nick Saban did the same thing. Dabo refuses to change. Therein lies the rub!

“ Probably not going to win it this year” .. win what? Heck, try to win a game or two. I understand now why we line up in the shotgun, even on 3rd and one on the opponents one. Our friggin’ Oline gets pushed back one to three yards on every play. If under center the QB would get pushed back on his but and our RB’s would have to fight the Dline for the handoffs. We’re soft and undisciplined, and it’s coaching, Coach.
